Thanks Witchy, and may I say your Character is looking really cool, the face is coming on great, I will have to have a go at that Character modelling soon but I don't have a scanner to get the Images in. [I've never even set a plane up yet!] I don't suppose there are any on the net??? (Got links to cars and spacecraft maybe will try a simple one of those first)

I hope someone can help me out here because I have been trying to create decent looking texture(s) for my Level.
I'm especially having problems with mesh type ones or the 'walkway' type of stuff - like in Unreal. where there are just raised bumps so you don't slip. Are there any tutorials for Photoshop that shows how to do grills/mesh's etc?

And the 'alpha' channel... Is that for creating these bumps, in a bump-map? (And do I need one to create a 'glass' texture?) I'm just about to try learning how to create them in Photoshop, some basics would help a lot..
